Total Vampire: Turning Pain Into Power Through Music
Hailing from Kansas, Total Vampire is an artist who embodies pain, resilience, and dark creativity in its purest form. His music is not just sound — it’s survival, transformation, and truth.
How a near death experience changed Total Vampires life for the better
At just sixteen, Total Vampire experienced a near-death incident that changed everything. What followed were sixteen long months in recovery at a medical facility — a period that reshaped his outlook on life and art. “I’ve lost a lot of people to tragedy,” he says, reflecting on how grief and struggle became the foundation of his artistic identity. “My music is a lot of authentic pain.”
What his music means to his listeners
Total Vampire’s sound stands out for its raw emotion, horror-inspired tones, and his unique vampire aesthetic — something he’s been true to since 2016, long before the trend hit mainstream culture. His artistic vision blends elements of darkness, storytelling, and emotional vulnerability, creating an atmosphere listeners can both feel and visualize.
Trials and tribulations
He’s already making waves, with an article featured on Strapped and thousands of views online. But his path hasn’t been easy. The biggest challenges he faces stem from mental and physical health battles, ones he continues to overcome every day — for himself and for his son.
What’s next
Looking forward, Total Vampire sees nothing but light at the end of his tunnel of struggle. His goals are ambitious and clear: going viral, earning millions of streams, performing in packed arenas, and even appearing in movies, video games, and major festivals. He envisions a future where his name is recognized globally — a symbol of perseverance and creativity.
Right now, his focus is on expanding his digital presence, getting his name in algorithms and search engines, and connecting with listeners who resonate with his journey.
His 15 song project “Vampain,” captures everything that defines him — the hurt, the hunger, and the haunting energy that makes Total Vampire one of the most compelling underground artists rising today.
